Abstract

In this paper, we present a logarithmic barrier interior-point method for solving a semidefinite program- ming problem. Newton’s method is used to compute the descent direction, and minorant function are used as an efficient alternative to line search methods to determine the displacement step along the direction in order to reduce the computation cost.
